Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

When they got home, Zhou Tian reeked of alcohol, which made Shen Yulin, who was already feeling sleepy, worried. She carefully helped her husband to the bed.

While taking off his shoes, she complained, "You, don't you usually drink? Why did you drink so much today? You don't even take care of your body!"

"It's okay, wife, I'm not drunk! And today my old boss is treating me, if I don't go, what kind of person would I be!"

Zhou Tian sat on the edge of the bed, letting his wife take off her shoes, and said with a smile.

"You said you're not drunk, but you smell so much alcohol on you, how much have you drunk?"

Shen Yulin couldn't help but roll her eyes at her husband, put his shoes under the bed, and took off his socks.

"Wait a minute, I'll get you a basin of water to wash your feet!"

Having said that, she stood up, turned around and was about to go out. Before she took a step, she felt a strong smell of alcohol coming from behind her, and a pair of large hands hugged her waist.

"Daughter-in-law, you are so kind!"

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go get you some water, let me go!"

Shen Yulin struggled helplessly for a while, then slapped Zhou Tian's hand and said coquettishly.

"it is good!"

Feeling the fragrance of his wife, although he was reluctant, Zhou Tian still let go of her hand. He looked at his wife with deep love as she walked out of the house.

"Ah, it's really comfortable!"

After his wife's figure disappeared, he groaned, lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling with his eyes, and made a comfortable sound.

Fortunately, it is this era. If it were in his previous life, he really couldn't imagine that his family would be able to marry such a daughter-in-law. Not to mention serving you when drunk, I'm afraid she would even wish you didn't come home.

"Okay, get up and wash your feet!"

After a while, the daughter-in-law came in with a basin of foot washing water. Seeing her husband lying on the bed, she walked up to him and slapped his thigh in an unhappily, then squatted down, picked up his feet and began to wash them in the basin.

"Boss, why did your old boss invite you to dinner?"

Shen Yulin asked as she washed her husband's feet.

Naturally, she had also heard her husband talk about this old leader, but in her opinion, it should have been her husband who invited the old leader to dinner, but now they had switched roles.

"Why else? Isn't it just a branch factory matter?"

Zhou Tian said casually while enjoying the massage from his wife's delicate hands.

"Branch factory, but the construction of the branch factory seems to have nothing to do with your old leader! Isn't he the deputy director of the steel rolling mill now?"

Shen Yulin couldn't help but ask doubtfully.

"Actually, how should I put it? The steel mill has been doing well in the past few years, and may be good in the future, but in the eyes of people with ideals and ambitions, the steel mill is obviously not suitable for these people to stay!"

Zhou Tian said this while sighing.

In fact, although the steel rolling mill is a large factory with tens of thousands of employees in a courtyard, and many people seem to be proud of it, in fact, the profits of the steel rolling mill are all supported by the tasks assigned by the state.

If it really depends on strength, the steel rolling mill does not have its basic core technology at all.

In later times, such a steel mill would not be able to develop at all. Fortunately, it is in this era that the steel mill has the support of the state, which has led to its prosperity.

But such a factory is enough for ordinary people, but for people with ideals and ambitions, such a factory is not enough to display their talents.

Although Zheng Weiguo is indeed not as good as Zhou Tian in terms of technology, it must be said that he is indeed a man of real ability. Although he is far behind Zhou Tian in terms of technology, compared with some technicians in the machinery factory, he can be said to be a high-level talent.

"That's it!"

Shen Yulin said, and nodded as if he understood. But Zhou Tian couldn't help but laugh, and asked jokingly.

"Wife, do you really understand what I am saying?"

"You hate it!"

When Shen Yulin heard what her husband said, she immediately slapped his calf with her delicate hand, gave him a coquettish look, then picked up the foot washing water and walked out.

After washing his feet, Zhou Tian suddenly felt refreshed and couldn't help humming a song.

“The East is Red, the Sun is Rising…”

The longer he stayed in this era, the more he felt the loveliness of this era, and the more he felt the preciousness of this era. Sometimes, he thought that if all this was just a dream, then he would rather indulge in the dream and sleep forever.

Although this era has many shortcomings, at least here, he doesn't have to worry about his talent being buried or encountering any injustice.

Leading cadres and the masses are united in purpose. Although it is inevitable that some people do have their own little thoughts, when it comes to patriotism, everyone is united in heart.

Gradually, humming a song, Zhou Tian fell asleep unknowingly.

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

The rumors about the construction of the branch factory not only did not dissipate over time, but instead intensified. Many people began to use their connections to inquire about the situation of the branch factory.

Even many of the higher-ups began to tentatively ask Zhou Tian about his opinion on the branch factory leadership.

Not only Zhou Tian, ​​but even Song Weiguo was constantly disturbed, and it seemed that the situation had begun to affect the production of the machinery factory.

Zhou Tian had to ask for help from above.

Finally, on the third day, the appointment letter was confirmed directly from above, and Zhang Yuanchang, Dong Cheng and Xie Weijun became the factory directors as expected.

Zhang Quan and Wu Lei, however, were not approved. Looking at the appointment letters in his hand, Zhou Tian couldn't help but have a headache. Although he had already guessed that Zhang Quan's appointment might be rejected when he submitted the list, he never expected that even Wu Lei would be rejected.

Zhang Quan might have been there because of the political review, but why was Wu Lei there? He couldn't figure it out.

However, after Song Weiguo explained the relationship, Zhou Tian finally understood what was involved, which was qualifications and experience. Although Wu Lei was qualified to be the director of an electronics factory in his eyes, in the eyes of others, Wu Lei was still a young man with insufficient experience and qualifications.

Not everyone is as evil as him, and not everyone is called Zhou Tian.

Even if Wu Lei has a good background, it is still the same. In this era, no means no, let alone such an important matter as the director of a branch factory.

Any one of these matters affects the lives of tens of millions of families, and it is impossible for the authorities to allow an unqualified person to hold such an important position.

After listening to Song Weiguo's analysis, Zhou Tian felt that he had been thinking too simply. In his opinion, as long as he had enough ability, he would be given space to display his talents.

But this is not the same as the previous life. Although ability is one aspect, political review is also another. Even your character, other people's evaluation of you, and your way of dealing with people are all criteria that affect promotion.

It's not that he didn't know this, but the few years of being the sole manager of the machinery factory had made him somewhat forget the simplicity and promotion system of that era!
